The Tabernacle Baptist 1+ acre site at 2206-2220 12th Ave. South has finally been sold by the church for $5.5 million to Cottage Partners.  Previously, Turnbridge Equities was working on a 1-3 story mixed use project with underground parking.  It is unclear if Cottage partners is part of that team, or if they are going to start from scratch.

Wait so this didn't happen after all those meetings that where had awhile back??

this is a downside of being so on top of developments and land sales.

I really wish Nashville would implement some uniform guidelines in regards to how buildings address the street, sidewalk width, setback distance etc... maybe the fact that it's a neighborhood in transition makes it seem worse than it is, but a neighborhood like Music Row seems particularly bad with this.

They do. The Major and Collector Street Plan addresses the width of planting strip, sidewalk and frontages (within the public ROW).

Street setbacks as that is baked into the zoning of private properties. For example, the mixed use "alternate" zoning has a "Build-To" zone that states the building frontage needs to be within that zone. It can vary from 0' to 15' typically. In more traditional zoning policy areas the street setback can range from 5' to 40', but also can vary depending on existing context - we sometimes see that a building needs to look at directly adjacent parcels and utilize the average setback of those properties to set their street setback - or the UZO can have an impact on the street setbacks.

Lastly, the zoning policies stipulate that buildings need to have an articulated main entrance along their primary frontage. In the case of 17th and Grand, it appears to me that they are utilizing a change in material (the wood) to indicate such a main entrance to the building.

NBJ has a feature on 17th & Grand--which is set to open later this year--including some new renderings. In the article it states the structure is 9 stories, but I believe that includes the two subterranean parking levels. The retail area has now been defined at 10,000 sq. ft. No tenants announced yet.

I stand corrected!  Thanks for the rundown.  I suppose there just haven't been enough new projects in the area yet since this was implemented for it to really make a visual impact.

I am by no means promoting this design, but Haven at Charlotte at as ugly as the OG Haven.

Correct. Leaving slabs and footings in place for the time being though. I would believe construction is not imminent (Final SP has not been approved yet).

Designed by the esteemed architectural firm Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Associates.

To make matter worse they are both right along the interstate blocking the views of everything else.

2505 21st Ave. South will be a  4 story medical office building with 75,000 sq. ft. of space on a 1.25 acre plot that is currently occupied by a 5 story office structure that is currently home to Wright Development, which will be torn down.  The latter is the company overseeing this new project.  ESa is in charge of architecture; Fulmer Lucas Engineering will handle land planning and engineering.  They will all go before Metro Planning on June 9th to request a zoning change.
